The Bordello, the Beauty and the Brilliant Director
By John Freedman
Almost every season has one -- the new phenom. These are things you
cannot take too seriously, not necessarily because the phenoms don't
deserve the attention but because heaping too much attention on young
talent is probably a crime worse than ignoring it.
One of the most prominent phenoms this season has been the director
Vasily Senin, a student of Pyotr Fomenko. His name has been on
everyone's lips, first for a production he did of Andrei Platonov's
story "Fro," then for a production at the Vakhtangov Theater called
"Nabokov. Fairytale." Now his staging of Bernard-Marie Koltes' "Roberto
Zucco" has opened at the Meyerhold Center.
I am always only too happy to admit my ignorance, so please allow me to
confess: For reasons good or bad, I still have not attended either
"Nabokov" or "Fro," which plays rarely at the Meyerhold Center. Having
seen "Roberto Zucco," however, I have every intention to rectify that
iniquity.
"Roberto Zucco" plays at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the Meyerhold Center,
located at 23 Novoslobodskaya Ulitsa. Metro Novoslobodskaya. Tel.
363-1048. Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
"Nabokov. Fairytale" (Nabokov. Skazka) plays at 7 p.m. on Thursday and
June 18 at the Vakhtangov Theater, located at 26 Arbat. Tel. 241-1679.
Metro Arbatskaya. Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
